The application form for VOCLET 2026 will be released online on the official WBSCTVESD portal. Candidates must register, fill in personal and academic details, upload required documents, and pay the application fee. The exam is usually scheduled in May or June, with results and merit lists published shortly afterward.
VOCLET 2026 is a gateway for vocational and ITI students to enter directly into the second year of diploma courses in West Bengal. With its structured eligibility, clear exam pattern, and centralized counseling, it offers a streamlined path into technical education.
